Islamic Law At Heart Of New Libyan Constitution

TurkishWeekly


The Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC) has issued a draft of a new constitution which has Islamic law as its foundation.


According to the document issued by the TNC, Islam will be the state religion and the principal source of legislation will be the sharia (Islamic law).


The clause is in Part 1, Article 1: “Libya is an independent democratic state wherein the people are the source of authorities. The city of Tripoli shall be the capital of the state. Islam is the religion of the state and the principal source of legislation is Islamic jurisprudence (sharia). Arabic is its official language while preserving the linguistic and cultural rights of all components of the Libyan society. The state shall guarantee for non-Muslims the freedom of practicing religious rights and shall guarantee respect for their systems of personal status.”


The rest of the draft constitution describes the country’s future political institutions and includes the rule of law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and a multi-party electoral system.

Interesting !
Let's see if they are allowed to follow through with this idea.

I bet there will be strong pressure from American and European
officials and groups to
drop that plank of the platform.
Just think what will they tell their home audiences
as the reason they fought the war ??
These Western countries are indoctrinated
to the hilt
against Sharia.

How sad it is that many Westerners shrug off
concepts like drugs, violence, Evil, as unimportant to
worry about.
But Sharia? Now THAT gets 'em all
jumping off their TV-watching couches in
mass protest at the very thought of Sharia
enacted in any country.
Let alone one which Nato just fought
a prodigiously expensive war in, billed
as liberating Libya from "dark forces"....
The Western publics won't like this.
No wonder it's only in a Turkish publication !!
Glad you were looking there to get
real information
The Turkish press is probably pretty good.
Certainly compared with the enchained
American one !
